As observed in the last thread, you can see how diffused light really makes a RB coin appear RD.&nbsp;&nbsp; The area&#039;s to note are those somewhat grayish red or dirty red area&#039;s,, those are more brown in hand than in the pics.</p><p>Those who offered color did pretty well:&nbsp; Mikenoodle and RLM&#039;s tied for best,, Duke hit all of them, but only offered up 4 of 6 colors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>28D- Could get a RD designation in a new holder or more if submitted during a more lax pgcs grading cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp; They appear to have been tough back in the day.&nbsp; This is an old holder.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nice coin, you can see weakness in the RD on the cheek, ear, and left of head.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also some RD weakness on rev to the left of &quot;C&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; I probably would have said 65.</p><p>38D - Beautiful toning in hand.&nbsp;&nbsp; I probably would have gone 65 or 66.</p><p>16S - Toning close to that of the ol&#039; blue 13.. same look, less pronounced.&nbsp; But very very eye appealing and colorful when rolled under light in hand.&nbsp; Minimal wear, but tough to tell,,, it&#039;s in that AU-MS range as noted in the thread and hard to grade.&nbsp; I&#039;d have gone 60 and split the middle.&nbsp; I congratulate those who took a stand in solid AU or solid MS range.</p><p>00 - Ugly, water spotty, good detail... must have been a birth year purchase I picked up a decade ago.. blech.&nbsp;&nbsp; But a good comparative sample to place by the 05 for an illustration of tpg variability,,, it&#039;s either variability, or they don&#039;t grade by ugly waterspots... who knows ?</p><p>05 - Pretty Satin finish.. what a 67 should look like imo.</p><p>29 - Another RB to illustrate how RD a RB coin can look under diffused light.&nbsp; Note the dirty look within the fields,, nice coin, and Rd&#039;ish in hand, but Redder under this light.&nbsp; You have to look for these weak RD area&#039;s on coins under&nbsp; diffused light or you risk over grading the color.</p><p><br /></p><p>Awards for this set of cents:</p><p>Best - A couple tied this round - 1.00 (BadThad &amp; MPCUSA)</p><p>HA - Coinman - 6.17 - Welcome Coinman. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now on to round 7.</p><p>We&#039;ll do four cents in round 7, and jump over to NGC for a couple rounds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
